Hello from NYC - Suzuki GT250

Kev,
Your progress is putting me to shame. Paint came out sick. I gotta get in gear so the girls can ride together.

Thanks Jay, I sort of rushed things ;D

I'm very excited about the project, and I'm looking forward to our ladies riding together.

Almost done with the bike, I ordered a custom steel braided line from HEL that is too long (made for the stock bars), but ill just wrap it on one side of the headlight. Still need to bring the headlight up a bit and I will be going back to the original bars. These bars are supposed to be flipped down but they are too close to hitting the tank IMO and this bike is for my lady so ill let her get used to the stock bars first and then get some clip ons with risers. All I need is to install the line and bleed the brakes and the Hustler should be done, still need to polish more and paint the foot pegs, the bike will be ridden this weekend (hopefully if the weather holds).

Bike is done, too bad I cannot ride it just yet. I will post daytime photos eventually.

The bike needs a few more odds and ends like polishing, a better cleanup, new seat, and a couple of other goodies. But it is perfectly rideable and ready to go!

Bike is running like a champ! Figured I would post up about it.

Need to polish the engine, but so far it has been running pristine.

For anyone in the area, check out Taka @ Peak Point, he diagnosed and fixed the little engine issues I had that I could not figure out. Bike is running immaculately after Taka put his hands on it.
